Democrats aiming to buy Black votes by promising to force non-blacks to pay them damages for the injustices of slavery were stunned by the opposition of two Blacks testifying at a subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee.
Columnist Coleman Hughes opposed reparations, saying that they “would insult black Americans, further divide the country, and insult descendants of slaves victims without their consent.” His testimony was roundly booed by Democrats attending the hearing, prompting Chairman Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn) to put down his piece of fried chicken long enough to ask the audience to “chill. Granted, this is unorthodox testimony coming from a Black man, but he still has the right to speak.”
Former NFL football player Burgess Owens also spoke against reparations because “it points to a certain race, a certain color and it points to them as evil. It also turns black people into beggars.” Even more shocking was his admission that “I used to be a Democrat until I read some history and found out the misery that that party brought to my race. Democrats are the party that was part of slavery, KKK, Jim Crow, and that has killed over 40% of our black babies—20 million of them.” He concluded by saying “color doesn’t matter. We have become successful in this country like no other because of this great opportunity to live the American dream.”
Presidential contender and supporter of reparations Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) suggested that “Mr. Owens may be suffering from the brain damage afflicting so many who have played football. But, in any case, his judgment is colored by his success as a self-made man. It’s easy for a person of talent to make it on his own, but what of the rest of us who needed a boosted? Is he saying that the special advantages I got as an alleged member of an oppressed ethnic minority were wrong? If I have learned anything from life it is that relying on freedom to let every person pursue his or her own happiness does not guarantee satisfactory results. We need government to put a thumb on the scales when and where warranted to provide the guarantee that freedom can’t ensure.”
Not willing to wait for Congress to take action on reparations, in New York City, Temar Bishop beat and raped a 20-year-old white woman because “she was a white girl. She deserved it because us minorities have been through slavery. This is what they used to do to us.”

White chicken boy, Steve Cohen, leader of the Reparations Crusade takes his title and job very seriously. I think he’s looking for a percentage of the eventual largess.
I don’t see the satire there.
Well, he’s Jewish.
Uh, which one? The one generation removed slaves(yeah, right) or the homo-reperations princess running beaver is talking about.
On Jesse Watters last night, Diamond and Silk had a scathing segment on this reparations scam. If only it could be seen by everyone, and not just “the choir”, who already understand.

Somebody, Jesse Watters even maybe did a segment about whether Blacks knew what IDs were and how to get them by asking a number of Black people on the street. The Black people thought the question was retarded.
